Of course you don’t know who you are any more.! How could you? Everything that sustained your illusion and public image seems to have fallen apart. You have to admit you were tired of carrying the burden and the responsibility and playing the role of" being somebody" by maintaining and identity that no longer suits you. Sometimes the chaos you fear and dread before it overtakes you, can turn out to be refreshing and liberating. All will be revealed.

As much as you long for an intimate and deep connection, you can’t continue the political game any more. A major planetary motion now demands that you no longer dress for success, but hack out a new path on an uncharted road. If you still have a contribution to make in this world, you have to make a break with tradition to do it. Resistance to a change of this magnitude is futile. Even if it scares you bananas, financially or otherwise, you need more freedom.

In the East people have condemned the body, condemned matter, called
matter "illusory," maya - it does not really exist, it only appears to
exist; it is made of the same stuff as dreams are made of. They denied
the world, and that is the reason for the East remaining poor, sick, in
starvation.
Half of humanity has been accepting the inner world but denying the
outer world. The other half of humanity has been accepting the material
world and denying the inner world. Both are half, and no man who is
half can be contented. You have to be whole: rich in the body, rich in
science; rich in meditation, rich in consciousness. Only a whole person
is a holy person, according to me.
I want Zorba and Buddha to meet together. Zorba alone is hollow.
His dance has not an eternal significance, it is momentary pleasure.
Soon he will be tired of it. Unless you have inexhaustible sources,
available to you from the cosmos itself...unless you become
existential, you cannot become whole. This is my contribution to
humanity: the whole person.
Osho Communism and Zen Fire, Zen Wind Chapter 2
Commentary:
This Dionysian character is the very picture of a whole man, a
"Zorba the Buddha" who can drink wine, dance on the beach and sing in
the rain, and at the same time enjoy the depths of understanding and
wisdom that belong to the sage. In one hand he holds a lotus, showing
that he respects and contains within himself the grace of the feminine.
His exposed chest (an open heart) and relaxed belly show that he is at
home with his masculinity as well, utterly self-contained. The four
elements of earth, fire, water and sky all conjunct at the King of
Rainbows who sits atop the book of the wisdom of life.
If you are a woman, the King of Rainbows brings the support of your
own male energies into your life, a union with the soul mate within.
For a man, this card represents a time of breaking through the
conventional male stereotypes and allowing the fullness of the whole
human being to shine forth.
